Looking for progressive dog training? IMDT Partnership Grades are the answer!
Covering a vast amount of training, our Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) Partnership Grades are very much like the Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards - only much less stuffy!
There are SO MANY aspects to these classes! We'll be touching on some GunDog exercises, some Scentwork, Agility, Hoopers, Recall & Loose Lead walking, all while building your distance handling skills, adding in distractions and even making trips to the Vets much easier!
All of this training will have relevance to real life!
We currently have SIX levels to work through (more will be added in future!) each with slightly more difficult criteria and exercises.
You will receive a certificate and rosette for each level you complete - making these classes the perfect choice whether you want to take part just for fun, or whether you're the competitive type!
These classes are open to any age of Dog and are suitable for both Puppies and Adult Dogs alike!
